Welcome to my new series, the Best Ever! Here’s the scoop… What’s it about? After many years of cooking and two plus years of having a food blog, I’ve come to realize that a recipe falls into one of a few categories. One, the recipe is gross and you will never see it here because I only share the good stuff with you. (Not mysteriously, you have no idea how many things I’ve made that fall into this category. My husband points out that you should trust that to be a good thing.) Two, the recipe is great and I love it at …

What do you do when you have ripe bananas that need to be used up quickly? I instantly think of banana bread or muffins. I love banana bread and muffins, but I’ve made them plenty of times. I wanted to whip up something different so I decided to give banana brownies a shot. I’ve never tried bananas or whole wheat flour in my brownies (yup, there’s some whole wheat-y-ness going on here). This recipe was all sorts of experimental for me. I wasn’t sure whether or not I’d fall in love with these brownies because I’m so happy with my favorite Fudgy Brownies. I …

Everyone can make brownies. It doesn’t matter if you’re an expert baker or if you’re on a budget, you can find a brownie recipe that works for you. (Or buy a box mix for cheap if you aren’t feeling making it from scratch, but that’s not what this post is about.) Brownies unite us! What, too dramatic? I’m partial to my Fudgy Brownies that I’ve been making for years. They are quick and easy to whip up. If you’re a beginner baker then it is a great recipe for you. Plus, there’s a reason why I’ve made them a trillion times and I continue to make …

Oh yes, they will do just fine. I’ve got a couple of kick butt recipes already, but these are different from what I’ve done. These brownies are gluten-free! These brownies are loaded with chocolate fudgy goodness and have a hint of peanut butter flavor. Flourless Chocolate And Peanut Butter Fudgy Brownies Recipe (About 16 servings) Ingredients: 1/2 cup butter (equivalent to 1 stick) 2 and 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided …

Do you know how the brownie came about? I’ve made a lot of brownies (who hasn’t?), but after making this latest batch, I was curious. Go go Google. Here’s some Food History 101. For the Chicago (Illinois, USA) 1893 World Fair, a woman by the name of Bertha Palmer requested a dessert for the ladies in attendance of the Fair. She wanted someting that was cake-like but smaller in size. A chef at Chicago’s Palmer House Hotel created what we all know now as a brownie. Since then a million bazillion brownie recipes have been invented. (Yes, I counted. 😉 ) They can be fudgy or …
